Reece, owner of Mr. G's Kettle Corn in Louisville, can tell the difference after making the switch last year to Kentucky-grown kernels supplied by Preferred Popcorn, another Kentucky Proud business. "The other corn wasn't popping the same because I was getting different corn every time," said Reece. "My supplier at the time couldn't tell me where my corn was coming from."

Crocus-the-flower-watch time has arrived Billy Joe Fudge's article on the gentle falls of the West Fork of Crocus-the- Creek was a subtle reminder of neglect of the Crocus-the-Flower watches on Columbiamagazine.com. Two years ago, we received a picture of Crocus above ground from Mr. Mike Watson, from his other home in Harrodsburg, KY, showing budding-not-yet-blooming crocus he and wife Renae, were enjoying on January 7, 2013. The earliest Crocus a-blooming we found using a Google search of CM were way up in February, though there are vague mental memories or imaginings of January blooms. Hope any who might spot Crocus in early bloom will let us know - perhaps by sharing a date stamped photo with us. - CM 2015-01-19 03:50:40 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Farm and Garden

West Fork heads up on the Eastern side of Highway 61 between Breeding and the top of Renox Hill. It's waters are indeed filtered through both the soil and sandstone of that area where Adair, Metcalfe and Cumberland Counties are conjoined.
